Baggies reject Odemwingie transfer request

The January transfer window has so far proven far quieter than expected for Harry Redknapp and QPR.

The west London outfit have been tenuously linked to just about every player going, but have so far only completed deals for Tal Ben Haim and Loic Remy, smashing the club's transfer record in the process.

However, QPR's January recruitment drive prepares to step up a notch with a move for Peter Odemwingie of West Bromwich Albion very much on the cards.

While Odemwingie himself was reportedly very open to the idea of talks with QPR, the 31-year-old frontman has been crucial to West Brom's achievements so far this season, and the club have no interest in letting him go.

"We have no need to sell our core players. We want to keep our squad intact."

Having reportedly turned down a £4million bid by Wigan for Odemwingie last season, it is clear that he is a player who factors heavily into West Brom's current strategy, and their plans for the remainder of the season.

Steve Clarke's side are currently sitting in 8th place, level on points with Liverpool, while QPR sit bottom of the Premier League table and face an uphill task to avoid relegation this season.
